The night soon fall on the Castle, exchanging the light with darkness of night. Maids were busy preparing night snacks while others are pulling down the curtains and turning on the lights.
In a room, Annabelle and Jasmine were busy looking over the paper and plans for the upcoming event .Annabelle was sitting on the couch with the papers on the coffee table while Jasmine were at the desk, calculating the cost and recognizing the items needed for the party.
The surrounding was quiet when suddenly there's a knock at the door, bringing the girls back to reality.
"Who is it?" Annabelle asked while standing up.
"Its me Oh Soo. I brought the tea and snacks.."
Annabelle walks over to the door, turning on the doorknob and opening the door, revealing a maid who was carrying tea and snacks on the tray.
"Oh my! Thank you." Annabelle said, her eyes gleaming with happiness. The maid pour the tea to each of the cups.
"Jasmine, have some tea.." Annabelle said, looking over the desk. Jasmine was concentrate on her work, calculating and checking the prices.
"Drink first. I am just about done." She said while double checking the other papers.
Annabelle changes her gaze and sip her tea.
"By the way, is Hanakimi up yet?"She asked the maid.
"I'm not sure, but she was sleeping soundly in the chamber. Maybe she will be up in an hour or so.." The maid answered.
"Oh.. Its just that i'm a bit worried. She never collapsed like that before." Annabelle took a bit out of the Danish.
"That's because she usually sleep it off. Lately she's been doing multiple orders that she didn't get enough sleep.. That girl always over do it.."
Jasmine walks over and sat on the couch while sighing deep. She closed her eyes and open it again. Finally she get some rest after looking after multiple of paper until her eyes were upside down..
"So, who is that guy who save her fall this morning?" Annabelle asked.
"I don't know. Never seen him. I'm not the type that open up television or magazine to see some hot guys like you. You should've known better.."
Jasmine took a sip of the caramel tea.
"Yeah..but thanks to her, we got to stay here while working on the event. Isn't it nice to have a chance to live on the castle even for a short while?"
Annabelle's face describe how happy she is now. Jasmine snorted at her comment.
"Yeah,It's a pleasure but we must not forget why we are here.." Jasmine said, warning Annabelle who was always keen to forgot about everything.
"Yeah..yeah.. stop nagging will ya? Geez.." Annabelle pouted and sip her tea
Drowsiness slowly comes to them. After one full day working, it's time for them to get some rest.
"Hey, should we see Hanakimi for awhile? Before we got to bed?" Annabelle asked.
"No. She need all the rest she need from her previous work, because after this, the work will be twice the hard.. Let her sleep it off for today.."
Jasmine asked as she put away the file in her bag and clean up the table. She loves to clean her workplace so that it won't be messed up next time she'll be using it.
"Yeah.. let's get some shut eye.."
They both exited the room and closed the door. Walking back to their room, they stumbled upon a slim silhouette walking towards them. The person was wearing a red night robe and a brown slippers. The person look up once her saw them coming his way.
"Going to bed? How's the work?" The person asked.
His white locks and violet eyes set on his fair and flawless face makes him looks almost like a perfect man. His friendly smile is what makes people warm up to him quickly by the first meeting.
"Oh, Prince Edward. Yes we are done for today.. More works lies ahead for the event.." Jasmine answered with a smile on her face.
"Oh, i'm sure you girls can pull it off. I've been attending this gathering since i was a young prince but i get the feeling that it's going to be different this time.."
Prince Edward gave them a confident smile.
'Oh, well. I hope so. We don't wish to screw up something big like this." Annabelle said with a sigh.
"Hey, don't worry. I'm sure you can do this, if not they would not hire you for the job.." He said with a smile again.
Jasmine and Annabelle look at each other and smiled.
"Oh, I must excuse myself. I have to get some sleep now.. goodnight.." He bade them goodbye and walks away with graceful manner.
"Such a perfect looking man. Where are we going to find someone like him out there..?"Annabelle said while looking at the spot where Prince Edward just standing before he went inside his bedroom.
"Oy, stop daydreaming. Lets go, we gotta wake up early tomorrow.."Jasmine smacked Annabelle head and continue pacing towards their bedroom.
The morning comes by changing courses between Sun and moon. The birds are chirping and the warm breeze greet the calm morning in Charles.
In the dining room, seems like three young ladies were having their breakfast as they watched the beautiful scenery in front of them.
"It would be awesome if we got to see this scenery every day.." Annabelle said while blinking and day dreaming.
"Well.. it is a pretty good scenery.." Hanakimi smiles at Annabelle who was looking so cheerful as always.
"No arguments here.." Jasmine smiles..
Servants came and serve their breakfast just like those at five star hotel. They were having English breakfast all look so scrumptious that Hanakimi starts to drool. She didn't eat anything yesterday.
As the servants went away, Hanakimi took the fork and bite into her breakfast faster than Annabelle. Jasmine noticed this and smiled.
"You look awfully hungry for someone who does not eat much.." Jasmine shove her food into her mouth, chewing while looking at her.
"I dunno.. I didn't eat anything yesterday.. I feel my stomach was really empty.." She shove bite after bite of food into her mouth.
"Yeah..u slept for a whole day yesterday after we arrived. Thank God Nobel let this one slide.."
Jasmine use her knife to cut the bread into half then took a spoon of marmalade and spread it on her bread..
"Speaking of yesterday..what happen? I don't remember anything after I passed out.."
Jasmine and Annabelle looked at each other, disbelief.
" Really? Not a thing?" Annabelle said something after being quiet for a moment.
Hanakimi shook her head in dismay.
"All I remember that I was walking back from the toilet, see you and passed out.." Hanakimi said while reminiscing.
"whoa! Major amnesia!"Annabelle said while shrieking.
"Oy, I told you not to scream or suffer dire consequences…" Jasmine glared at Annabelle.
"Sorry but…." Annabelle was about to talk when Jean came in with Nobel Michel into the dining room.
"Good Morning, Miss Grace,Miss Lee and Miss Kim." Nobel Michel said while sitting down on the same table as they are.
"Good morning to you too,Sir Michel"They bowed and sit back.
The surroundings suddenly becomes quiet until Nobel Michel cleared his throat.
"So, how are you Miss Kim? Are you feeling better?" He shoved a spoonful of soup in his mouth.
"I am feeling better Sir. Sorry for the inconvenient yesterday. I should've act like that. I am sorry..'
Hanakimi sighed quietly, thinking back of what could have happen yesterday.
"Its alright. I understand this is your first time handling big event involving royalties. Though, I would like all of you to take good care of your health and not overstress yourself for this event, okay?"
Nobel Michel gave them a warm fatherly smile, making them smile back.
"Yes sir..!"They nodded in excitement.
"Your Highness.." Jean said as he entered the room.
"Yes, Jean. What is it?" Nobel Michel turned around.
"His Highness has arrived. He is on his way here to meet you.."
"Well, let him come in and join me. Make some camomile tea, will you Jean?" Nobel Michel said to Jean.
Jean nodded and went to open the dining room door.
"Excuse me for asking but who is coming?" Annabelle asked,curious about the guest that was about to show up.
Jasmine poked her waist, making her jump a little. She turned to meet with Hanakimi's glare and Jasmine's serious face.
She made a "what?" face when she looked at them. Nobel Michel smiled upon seeing them fighting in silence with each other.
"well it is…"
"Sir Michel.." Nobel Michel was about to answer Annabelle's question when a voice called upon Nobel Michel's name.
Nobel Michel turned around and smile curled up from the corner of his lips. A tall,fair skinned guy with a blue eyes walks into the room. He was wearing a white shirt and a black slack. It look simple for a normal person but when he wears it, it's like a high class fashion.
The three of them were stunned to see a very handsome and charming man walking towards the table. The guy took a glance at them and smiled.
"Ah.. Wilfred. You were early. Would you like to join us for breakfast?"
"I would love too." The guy named Wilfred sat down across Nobel Michel, three chairs away from Jasmine.
"Ladies, let me introduce to you. This is Prince Wilfred. He is the crown prince of Phillip."
They bowed their heads to him.
"And Wilfred, these are the organizers for this year's annual gathering. Miss Annabelle Grace.."
Annabelle bowed and smiled.
"Miss Hanakimi Kim.." Hanakimi bowed and smiled. She was a bit stunned by how handsome he is.
"And Miss Jasmine Lee.." Jasmine bowed and smiled. Wilfred looked at Jasmine and his gaze looked a bit stunned seeing Jasmine.
